A Few Of My Favorite Things

I hope all the blog reading Moms had a wonderful Mother's Day.  I received this gorgeous flower arrangement from my two favorite sons:


This was such a wonderful surprise and the flowers smell beautiful.   Thank you G and D for making my day extra special! 

Here is my favorite YouTube, so perfect for mother's Day. Get your tissue ready...




I thought that I would share with you my every growing collection of glass flower frogs.  I actually come across these often and have had to curtail my spending when it comes to these frogs..
I do have a few favorites, the green one and the frogs that are thicker...
I am finally finding time to post a picture of an amazing silhouette poster of The Wizard of Oz. 
This was given to me by my DSs on Christmas 2010 and I absolutely love it...
This Wizard Of Oz poster is composed entirely from the body text of Frank Baum’s classic novel. Carefully arranged, the words form an image in negative space of Dorothy and the gang skipping down the yellow brick road with the Wicked Witch of the West hovering over them.  Here is  bit of the detail...



How awesome is that???? Because we were planning on moving I decided to wait to get the poster framed. We are now settled in our new home and I am happy to say that my favorite poster is now on display in my sewing room.


A week from tomorrow is a very special day ~ my DS #2 will be graduating from Lehigh University.  We have had so much rain lately that I am hoping that the day is sunny and bright. When DS #1 graduated in 2009 it was not only raining, it was freezing.  I shall keep my fingers crossed that the weather cooperates this time!

Thanks for stopping by ~

Until next time...

What a great frog collection! That is one area I am very frustrated in. I just can't find them out here in Phoenix. The only one I've purchased was found in Abilene, KS when visiting my son and DIL. I'm always on the lookout though...

I hope that you have wonderful weather for your son's graduation.

I love all your frogs (being a collector myself) and I'm just crazy about that poster. I love the W of Oz.

I'm visiting from Suzanne's, where I saw your fabulous scissor case. What a beautiful project! Enjoyed reading your blog and I'm so sorry about your Misha.
